School Exercise Book
Design & Printing

For handwriting we have a wide selection - including our new range of HWEX rulings. We also offer blank pages and blank pages printed on cartridge paper for Art books. These are often spiral bound.

Our approach to producing school exercise books may be slightly different to many other suppliers as we concentrate on designing and producing eye-catching school exercise books that continue and compliment your existing school branding.  Whether we have designed your school logo or you have sent us your existing logo, our design team will create professional looking books with your logo and other design elements on both the front cover and on the back cover.  We can also include details unique to your school like a school motto, mission statement or key words.  Inside cover printing is also available with presentation rules, pupil targets and tick boxes being among the most popular items.

Having decided on the requirements for your exercise books - many schools like to protect their exercise books further.  We offer a number of solutions, one being laminating the card covers. Lamination is applied after the covers are printed and is applied to the outer cover - to one side only.  The lamination will be on the outside - but not the inside cover.  We offer both gloss and matt lamination options - however most schools choose the gloss lamination. Not only does this give a shiny finish to the books - it also gives extra strength and can protect the corners of the books from wear and tear.  They can also be wiped clean.
Both gloss and matt laminated exercise books can still be written on using a biro style pen, permanent marker pen or Sharpie - some schools however like to apply a sticker to the cover.  We can design the covers to accommodate various sticker sizes and can include a feint outline showing where the sticker can be applied.
We can also supply plastic sleeve covers to protect your exercise books.

The binding of the exercise books is very important especially in books with a high number of pages. Most of our exercise books are bound using 4 strong staples - instead of 2 as in many other books. This can extend the life of your books, ensuring the cover is firmly bound. Our ruled pages are printed on a good quality paper and we usually suggest a maximum of 80 pages - however we somtimes go to 96 pages.  
When we produce Art books or Learning Journeys we often include a much thicker paper or cartridge style paper.  For this kind of book we recommend a spiral binding which allows for a thicker book and also makes page turning much easier.
We also offer an extra style of book which has a perfect bound / square spine. The pages are gathered and then glued into the binding.  This allows for may more pages than the staple binding.
